It is currently the home of Weber State Wildcats women's volleyball team of the Big Sky Conference.
Built 63 years ago in 1962 as Weber State's primary indoor venue, it was succeeded by the new Dee Events Center in autumn 1977.
All three teams (men's and women's basketball, volleyball) moved to the Dee, leaving the gym without a varsity tenant.
It is named for Reed Knute Swenson (1903–1989), the head basketball coach at Weber from 1933 to 1957 and longtime athletic director.
[7][8] The final men's basketball game was on February 12, 1977, a twelve-point win over Gonzaga before 4,941;[9] the Bulldogs were winless in fifteen annual attempts at Wildcat Gym,[10] but did upset Weber State by a point a week later in Spokane to foil their title hopes.
